You can configure advanced AP settings such as LED status, USB support, BSS Coloring, AP Management VLAN, AP auto-reboot, and AP IP mode from the Advanced tab in the Wi‑Fi Configuration section.

1. On the navigation bar, select Venues.
   The Venues page is displayed.
2. Click the check box for the specific Venue name, then click Edit. Alternatively, click the specific Venue name, then click Configure.
   The Edit Venue page is displayed, defaulting to the Venue Details tab.
3. Click the Wi-Fi Configuration tab, and then select the Advanced sub-tab
   The Advanced sub-tab is displayed.

   

4. (Optional) In the Access Point LEDs, click Add Model and complete the following steps:
   1. Select a model from the Model list.
   2. (Optional) Toggle the LEDs Status switch off. By default, the LEDs Status is enabled.
   3. (Optional) Click the icon to delete a model.
5. (Optional) In the Access Point USB Support, click Add Model and complete the following steps:Toggle Access Point USB Support to enable to USB interface in the AP model.
   1. Select a model from the Model list.
   2. (Optional) Toggle the USB Status switch off to disable the USB interface on the AP model. By default, the USB Status is enabled.
   Note: This option is only available for AP models that have a USB interface. Enable or disable the USB port for IoT-connected devices. When you enable it, the port supports IoT device connectivity and data transfer.

   Note: For PoE APs, you cannot use the USB port with PoE 802.3af or 802.3at because of insufficient power.
6. Toggle the BSS Coloring switch on to enable or disable the feature.

   BSS Coloring reduces interference between Wi-Fi access points by assigning unique colors, minimizing collisions. Supported model families include 802.11ax and 802.11be.

   Click the icon to view the feature synopsis and the supported AP model families (denoted by their applicable IEEE 802.11 standard). Click See the compatibility requirements to view compatibility information such as the number of incompatible APs, the minimum required version, and supported AP model families.

   Note: If you disable or enable one of the features that depends on AP compatibility, then RUCKUS One automatically checks AP compatibility as part of the venue or network configuration update. Click the icon in the upper-right corner of the UI header, then click the related network or venue settings activity to view the Activity Details.

   Perform the following actions:

   • View the status of the resulting AP compatibility check.
   • Click See incompatible report to view a list of the incompatible APs.
7. In Access Point Management VLAN, enter the Management VLAN ID or use the arrows to select the VLAN ID. The VLAN ID must be between 1 and 4094.
   The Management VLAN is used to segregate management traffic between the AP and RUCKUS One.
   Note:

   • Verify that the configuration of the uplink switch is correct before attempting to change the AP management VLAN ID. By default, the Management VLAN ID for a venue is set to 1.
   • To avoid the isolation of the APs, it is essential to configure the network switches with the corresponding settings.

   Note: A confirmation message is displayed only when there is a change in the AP Management VLAN setting or if an AP using the venue's AP Management VLAN setting is moved to another venue having a different Management VLAN setting.
   You can view the configured VLAN ID per AP in the Wi-Fi > Access Points > AP List table in the Management VLAN column. This column is hidden by default. To display this column, click the icon and select the Management VLAN check box.

   

   Also, refer to AP Management VLAN at the Venue Level to know more about this feature.
8. Configure AP Auto-Reboot on GW Timeout to reboot the AP when it cannot reach the gateway or controller.
   An AP is automatically rebooted if it cannot reach its gateway (GW) or controller within a specified time frame. This is a safeguard mechanism to ensure network stability and connectivity. If the AP loses connection to the GW or controller, it will attempt to reboot itself in hopes of re-establishing the connection.
   1. Toggle the Gateway Connection Monitor switch on and configure Gateway Timeout before AP Reboot to specify how long the AP waits before rebooting if it cannot reach the gateway.
   2. Toggle the Controller Connection Monitor switch on and configure Controller Timeout before AP Reboot to specify how long the AP waits before rebooting if it cannot reach the controller.
9. In AP IP Mode, select IPv4 only, IPv6 only, or Dual.
10. Click Save.
